Pathways - to education and careers

June 2, 2015 3:38 PM

This morning I attended a meeting chaired by Doctor Jack Daniels - President Madison College. There was an impressive list of people in attendance representing Madison college, UW, Edgewood Colledge, MMSD, Workforce Development, Urban League, Dane County, MG&E, Chamber of Commerce City of Madison, United Way........others and me.

The emphasis of this meeting was to define our work and to define the target population. The discussion revolved around working together to create pathways for our young people (grades 8-14), towards education and careers.

Next Steps - involves asset mapping, gap analysis, finding what is working and what is not.

This initative is part of a 5 year plan at the school district kicked off 2 years ago - they are looking for support and wrap around assistance. We all benefit from the sucess of our kids. I'm proud to be asked to join this discussion/initiative.
